BRINGING TRANSPORT TOGETHER CALL FOR PAPERS
ABOUT PATRAM 22 PATRAM 22 will be held at the ANTIPOLIS Palais des Congrès, in the beautiful Juan-les-Pins, Antibes on the French Riviera from 11 June - 16 June 2023. The PATRAM Symposia is the only international event dedicated to the exchange of information for packaging and transportation of radioactive materials and therefore presents a unique opportunity for the entire professional community as Industrials and Authorities. We host an average of 800 participants distributed between plenary conferences, technical sessions, posters sessions and a technical competition with awards to be granted. The purpose of event is to gather at international level, industry experts, representatives of the competent authorities, governments and research organizations for scientific and technical exchanges purposes, in connection with all aspects related to packaging and transport of radioactive materials.
A MESSAGE FROM THE PATRAM 22 HOST & CHAIR
It is now just under a year to PATRAM 22, in the beautiful French Riviera resort
of Juan-les-Pins, Antibes and the initial Call for Abstracts has already been
broadcast.
At this, the 20th International PATRAM Symposium focussing on the
packaging and transport of radioactive materials, we have much to discuss
and a great deal to reflect upon, not least how we have all dealt with the
challenges of the pandemic. Equally as importantly, our reassembly gives
us much to celebrate and Juan-les-Pins provides the most wonderful of
backdrops for our community to reacquaint and refocus on the important
work that binds us. COP26 has caused us all to look in the mirror and
consider how we can contribute to sustainability through decarbonisation
and, having been in Glasgow during COP26, I am overwhelmed by the
groundswell of support for nuclear to supplement renewables in the climate
solutions being explored.
Nuclear energy generation and nuclear maritime propulsion are key areas
that can contribute to decarbonisation and it is my hope that the PATRAM
programme reflects this during our technical sessions. All in all, I cannot
wait to meet with colleagues old and new during PATRAM to discuss and
debate transport for a new nuclear era and I expect that, as we close our
proceedings with a splendid celebration, we will all be reinvigorated in our
shared mission of driving safe, secure, reliable, efficient and sustainable
radioactive material transport. So my message is very simple, I want all our
community to consider contributing technical papers to our programme
and then we will have the opportunity to say to colleagues and peers see
you in Juan-les-Pins!
